Bad Star Trek is Still Star Trek.. Right?

Comments

There' no such as bad star trek only better episodes that make star trek shine like no other.

Jason Mitchell

Bad Trek from the 60s - 90s Is better than most Trek from the 2009 - 2024.

Just another Red Shirt

One of my top 5 episodes is in Season 3. I think it's obvious which one... but we won't be talking about that yet. I don't want to spoil anything.

Tom Occhipinti

There are only a couple left this season I would say are anywhere close to weak. I think Vengeance Factor is the low point of the season, personally.

Derek Locke

There's good ones before 14 as well. 3x10 is one of my favorite episodes!

Derek Locke

Things get better after the 14. Be patients.

Yes and no . I absorbe all trek . But discovery when u guys someday get there is an abomination to all of sc fi and good storytelling . It’s not only bad trek but bad sci fi . Which sucks cause I wanted to be good and it looks amazing visually. But wow is it atrocious. Imo and many others

I think this depends on what exactly people most like about TNG. Many fans think season 3 and 6 are the strongest. I find 3 still a little bit dry and stiff compared to 5 and 6. I think 4 is just a little bit dull compared to 3, but still a very solid season. 7 though is one season too far. 7 even looks a bit cheap and rushed. The wigs Troi and Crusher wear (for one example) are absolutely blatant and look like they've literally just been thrown on their heads.

Just your opinion. I like Lower Decks and love Strange New Worlds.

Sam Langanke

Season 3 is good. But season 4 and 5 are much better. In my opinion, seasons 6 and 7 are still better than 3, but not as strong as 4 and 5.

Tom Occhipinti

In this era? Yes. 🖖🏻

There are four or five episodes that I rate pretty low - a 2 or 3 out of 10-this is not one of them. (With three of them below "Shades of Grey" for me) But I will still watch them when I'm doing a full series re-watch, which I do about once every five years, which I am doing now as I watch along with you and couple other reactors. So I guess I am in the "bad Star Trek is better than most other options" camp. What is the worst episode of all the series that you have ever watched? Have to think...

This is an interesting question. We all love these characters, so even when they're stuck in a less-than-stellar story, there can be some fun in just hanging out with the crew, and maybe a few lines or an interaction will be worth something. Then there is the "so bad it's good" that sometimes comes along that is worth watching for that reason. This episode really was a stinker though.

I've been asking myself this question for the last six months.

At a glance there's six episodes this season that I would not intentionally seek to watch, but if I'm channel hopping when there's nothing on or if I'm doing a marathon of DVDs I equally wouldn't skip over them. Comparatively to modern shows, the worst episodes of Trek would be an average episode of a new show! XD

James Knight

Since the moment you guys announced you'd watch ST TNG, I went over the episodes that I enjoyed. On average, for me, it's about 10 episodes per season. No one bats 1.000

Michael Figueroa

I think Dr Stubbs has established a new line of acting measurement for Josh, "Wow, that guest actor sure gave a Dr Stubbs level performance" "Dr Stubbs did a scene like that that I didn't care about either" "I'm going to go full Dr Stubbs if Kirk and this computer get into it about God again"

Alan Thompson

While this was a weak episode the second half of this season has some of the best episodes of the franchise. If you liked Measure of a Man you’re really going to enjoy what’s coming.

Kurt Linke

I’d rather watch S1 on a loop than any of the new modern Trek movies/series..

Kurt Linke

Not since 2009

"Bad Star Trek" .... oh you have no idea.

JGoss

To answer the thumbnail, yes. Bad or good, the story is still Star Trek, even Star Trek 5.😁
